There may be more than one driver in one installation of NFS because the PC or console may be used by more than one player. This has made it necessary for developer, EA Games, to create a system where multiple drivers or driver profiles can exist in one game and where the player(s) can easily switch between these drivers.

Steps

Method1

via the Safe House Menu

1

Open the Safe House menu. If you need to swap drivers, press the Safehouse button on the top right corner of the screen to go to your Safehouse.

You can also go to Safehouse by pressing “H” on your keyboard.

2

Click “Change Driver” from the Safe House menu. This will take you to the Select a Driver page.

3

Choose a different Driver from the list. Do this by clicking the name and then clicking “Enter NFS World.” This will let you play the game as the new Driver you’ve chosen.

Method2

Restarting the Game

Exit the game. There are two ways to swap drivers in NFS World. The first is totally restarting the game. To do this, exit the game, and you can do this three ways too:

The first way is to press Esc to bring up the Options menu and then select “Exit Game.”

The second way to exit the game is to press the Alt key together with F4. You will exit the game automatically.

The third way to exit the game is by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard to return to the Windows Desktop and then closing NFSW by right-clicking its icon on the taskbar and selecting “Close.”
